According to documents released by the Iowa Board of Chiropractic on Wednesday, the license of a chiropractor has been suspended for "engaging in sexual contact with several patients."Watch videoThe board said Charles Manuel, of Lamoni, engaged in unethical contact.According to documents, Manuel "bartered sex for services with some of these patients" and "performed exorcisms as part of his chiropractic treatment of patients."Manuel voluntarily surrendered his chiropractic license. He is not allowed to seek reinstatement for at least 10 years.People in Lamoni, population 2,300, said they were shocked to hear the news."That's ridiculous, I mean an exorcism?" said Robert Jackson.Jackson's apartment is just across the street from Manuel's former office."It's extremely scary. I'm appalled that it was going on exactly right across the street from where I'm staying. I don't know, I'm baffled," said Jackson.Dr. Bryan Nowlin once shared the office with Dr. Manuel, but now he practices by himself.Nowlin told KCCI, "We didn't notice any of that stuff while he was here."Lindsey Williams also lives across the street. She said she's relieved she's only visited Nowlin."I never heard that he had been doing anything like that, but I'm glad I went to the other chiropractor," said Williams.KCCI caught Lyndsay Bellinger as she left the office. She said she went to Manuel as a child, but has been seeing Nowlin for years."I couldn't believe it. I was really surprised," said Lyndsay Bellinger."That's ridiculous. You got to maintain your professionalism," said Terry Bellinger."So crazy, I just dismiss it as that can't be right," said Bob Ramsey and Jerie Gail Ramsey.
